I have an XC540 roland PC machine. When cutting a laminated sheet with crop marks, the first crop mark is detected, then as the sensor is moving to detect the left mark, it feeds away from me a few mm every 2 seconds or so. By the time the sensor is at the second mark, it's nearly under the pinch roller. It works if I purposely miss align the left crop mark toward me by about 3/4". Any ideas? Cheers from Nova Scotia. Thanks in advance.

Feed moves while detecting crop marks

Doing it again, in the opposite direction, could the sensor be loose?

Roland VersaCamm VS 540 user here. On our machine, if all or part of the right crop mark is lined up with the right roller, the machine will read the right mark, but search unsuccessfully for the left crop mark.
It must be parallax, or some viewing angle issue. When I rotate the laminated print, slightly in the CW direction, the issue goes away. I was told by a Roland tech, to use tape, and marks to re-register after lamination. Now I know why he said that, our eyes are playing tricks on us. Other than this human error, the old XC-540 prints a perfect test print. I have only ever owned Roland sign gear, I would add them to Apple, Honda, LG, Toyota, as my trusted brands!
